Custom Transport Layer Additions to an SDK

  • Article

If you build a custom transport layer, you must add desktop-side and device-side dynamic-link library (.dll) files that perform the transport during the SDK export process.

During the process of building an SDK, you configure and select the transports to be included in the SDK for your platform. After you install the SDK for your platform, you can use eMbedded Visual C++ interfaces with Platform Manager to enable the desktop-side and device-side transports.

The device-side part of Platform Manager includes transport layer files. Platform Manager uses the device-side part to establish the appropriate hardware connection from the desktop computer to your target device. Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ and other applications can then communicate with the target device by using Platform Manager. For more information about Platform Manager transports, see Transport Selection.
